If you don't or cannot display compassion and humanity to those around you at this time of desperate need for just that, then you cannot expect compassion and humanity from others living in far off lands!
One Dalit's story of life-long discrimination and humiliation, and struggle for personal recognition for who he is and what he has become through his own efforts lays bare some of the worst aspects of our Caste System.
The spuriousness of the logic behind the Caste System, which considers birth as an end instead of the beginning that it is, and what can be done to eliminate it.
Your birth as anything (class, caste, race, nationality etc.) or with any trait (skin color etc.) considered to be a characteristic of an inferior human being is not shameful. YOU HAD NO CHOICE IN THAT!
It's those that view and interpret that as such and make you suffer for it who are shameful: THEY HAVE A CHOICE IN THEIR VIEW OF, THEIR ATTITUDE TOWARDS AND THEIR TREATMENT OF YOU!
Details of the discrimination I faced in Nepal, what I do, and why I do what I do for those who suffer even more discrimination!
Birth as a low caste, a Dalit, in Nepal means that you are not only expected, but also made, to live in shame and poverty. In an effort to escape from that, they go looking for foreign employment but lacking in funds and education, fall victim to loan sharks and trafficking.
